The kidneys remove waste from the body, maintain waste and electrolyte balance, and produce various hormones involved in hematopoiesis and blood pressure control.
The Department of Nephrology treats hematuria, proteinuria, glomerulonephritis, chronic renal failure, polycystic kidney disease, high blood pressure, and diabetic kidney disease. Our Artificial Kidney Center provides dialysis and drug treatment for patients with end-stage failure and helps them prepare for kidney transplantation.
